For one thing, I recommend that if you are building a pc, then shop at www.pricewatch.com. Here, gives a list of all computer components by price, brand, and category. For a pc case that has a powersupply, I would recommend http://www.pcdirect.com/product.asp?Sku=MID769%2D1PL. This is a nice case with a good power supply that will enable you to upgrade products and not have to worry about getting another power supply later on. If you are looking for a fancier case then this might be something you might like: http://www.cmicomputer.com/cgi-bin/quikstore.cgi?product=cspw8670&detail=yes. Both of these cases I found on www.pricewatch.com. You can look for yourself and see what fits your budget and taste. But I do recommend that you get a case with a 400watt power supply or more just in case of future upgrades. You want your pc to be able to pull the power it needs without choking for more. Anything else is up to you.

Is there such an animal? I have been shopping New Egg for my system and notice some cases come with. I know these can be questionable, so which ones (in your experiences) is the most passable. I understand I may need to upgrade the supply, but if I find one with that is at least servicable to start, that would be good. Video card not powered, but will be running 1 hard drive, two optical drives, 1 3.5 floppy and, at some point, a SATARAID setup. Will be running an Athlon 3200+ with non factory heat sink and fan for future overclocking possiblities, though not at first.

Any advice or other reputable distrubtors I should investigate?
